Higher than a 3 but not quite a 4. Mixed feelings, but an honest review (in my opinion). If you want to be almost guaranteed to see animals, then this is a great choice. It is a "private game reserve", the land is privately owned and therefore fenced off, so the animals are basically in a very large safari park. We saw 4/5 of the big five (Leopards are supposed to be in the area, but they are solitary and mostly nocturnal so you are unlikely to see them). we also saw Zebra, Giraffe, Hippo etc. The welcome drink is a nice touch, as are the toilet and drinks facility out in the park. I was pleasantly surprised by the food, I really wasn't expecting much, but it was better than nice, and the desserts were great. The Spa looked very good but we didn't use it. My negative feedback is regarding the accommodation, we had an outside shower which was great and very warm (it was an experience i was happy to try) the bed was very comfortable, and the furniture looked new. I felt the bathroom needed a refurb, and the doors and windows were ill fitting, which created Bug problems (Arggghh) (Caroline writing the review, not Craig). It really made it difficult for me to settle and we left before our 2nd night in the accommodation. We were down by the pond and Aquilla even left bug spray and insect repellent in the room (a warning perhaps? and a kindness) We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and early morning safari's which are the main reason to visit Aquilla. Lovely grounds, and well organized.
